Wilma Taylor was born May 20, 1934, to the late Willow and James Jones in Lookout. She passed away on March 30, 2013. She accepted Christ at an early age. Her last membership was at Baptist Grove Missionary Church in 1981, under the leadership of Rev. L. Goldberg. She served on the Usher board until her health failed.

Wilma moved to Chicago in 1951 at age 17, when she married her first husband, Richard Walton. From that union eight children were born. Wilma later remarried on Aug. 16, 1978 to Archie Taylor and to this union six children were born. Being the faithful and loving woman she was, she proudly accepted his children. This relationship joined together 14 children. Wilma did day work for a long time. She then became a manager for Harold's Chicken on the south side of Chicago. Wilma and Archie enjoyed fishing together. Although Archie did teach Wilma how to fish, Wilma became good at fishing and began to enjoy fishing more that Archie did. Wilma was a very good cook. She was known for her beautiful long hair.
